Last year for both EV tours I was able to get my hands on tickets for every show I wanted to see even without 10C tickets to several. I actually had 6 sets of Chicago tickets in my hands that I sold off for face value. There are going to be several very nice 10C members that will be selling and trading on the board as well as outside the venues. I highly recommend staying away from the scalpers because they are going to be insane. Also, Ticketmaster released singles the day of show for almost every show. I know how stressful this is but I would be willing to bet if you want to get in you will be able to and for face value. Don't underestimate everyone just yet. Someone might surprise you. Good Luck!!!!!

    What was your method for getting so many tickets?

    That is 100% true.

    The days leading up to the shows, there were people on here trying to sell tickets or even give them away...and quite a few people selling them for face value outside the venue...

    If you didn't get tickets and live in the area, go to one fo the pre-show get togethers that will be posted on this board and you will probably find a kind soul with an extra ticket!!

    show up at the venue about 2 hours before ed is to hit the stage. name your price. after what i witnessed last year, i decided to hold off on any 10c or tm/livenation sales.....you'll save yourself a lot of money if you decide to scalp.
    i have a paper here that entitles me to fast track status

    I was panicing my ass off about the Chicago show (large population/small venue) and just bought the first pair here on the Pit that someone offered for face. As the show got closer and closer more and more tickets were posted and they kept getting better and better. I kept buying and I kept the best ones I could get my hands on sold the rest for face to people here on the pit.

    That's interesting.

    This was true of many of the shows...rumours abounded of tickets being sold outside many venues for $30 in some cases. That said, I can assure you in LA there were no tickets to be found - 10c window and will call was inside PAST security, once you were in, you were in. Virtually no scalping. Box office released 20 singles, 1 at a time over a period of hours. It was a tough ticket for sure.

    There will be people offering tickets here, just like other shows, peoples plans will change and others will have friends back out. You will be able to find some.

    Agreed, don't forget there are a lot of 10C members who don't post here that show up and the pre-event. If you REALLY want to go, you can definitely find one there and meet some really great people.
